“Please don’t kill me, I..I... will tell”
The men begged for mercy, their eyes filled with terror for the women who injured them without even moving.
“Good, now who….”
SPLAT!, the knights exploded one by one, spilling blood all over the place.
“Great, that is just fantastic.”
The explosion covered Eden from head to toe in blood. Some even went into her mouth.
“Not having heart might have something to do with this.” said Angi examining the blood.
“Forbidden contract,” muttered Eden
“Hmm?”
“I read it in a book, the three forbidden contracts, and this one seems to be the heart contract native to the southern mountain tribe. Did you scan its structure?”
“Yeah, the spell casting is simple, but before that, I think you should deal with the problem behind and on top of you”
It took a few moments for Eden to realize what he Angi meant. She turned back to see the horrified and baffled look on her maid’s face.
“Right, um.. listen I.. heh”
“Who are you?.”
THUD!
Eden disappeared in an instant and reappeared behind Eva. Just as she was about to turn, Eden knocked her out cold.
“I am really sorry, Eva, but you can’t remember what you saw and haven’t anybody told you peeing on a lady is rude?”

There was a small rustle among the branches of the tree. A tiny figure landed in front of her possibly nine to eleven years with chubby checks, glittering blue eyes, long green hair which looked like soft grass with a tanned body.. He looked childish, but his eyes were the oldest she had seen.
“A child?, No, you can’t be a child. Angi scan”
“250 years old”
“Ah, young but old, earthly scent, green hair, blue eyes, dark skin. I greet the owner of the magic tower, Grand mage Dawn”
The child’s eyes were gleaming with a mix of curiosity and amusement.
“Oh, you recognized me”
“Yes, my lor…..”
“Call me Dawn, and what was that? The weapon you used is not magical is it and how did you summon it. You just waved your hand, and those men were lying on the ground with holes in them and you even recognized heart contract, but mainly what was it”
“I can’t tell him its construction, nor its mechanism.” She thought,
“I got it from an old man who had rescued me when I was lost, Sir Dawn. It is a magical weapon.”
“Please don’t lie”
“How so?”
“Magical weapons always release a subtle yet undetectable amount of ether radiation, which can’t be detected if one is not as smart as me. No, instead yours released a pungent smell. What is it? Ah yes, of course, nitroglycerin.”
Eden looked at for a few moments, not able to think about what to say. She wanted to deny the fact, but she knew it would be in vain.
“Heh, he is good. To realize nitroglycerin where ether and magic are more common words.” admired Angi.
“I see why you became the youngest and oldest magic emperor.”
“Oh, you flatter me, miss Eden Blanchester”
“Great, he knowns my name. Why did it even surprise me?”
“Do you have more?”
“Yes?”
“Do you have more of those weapons?”
“Yeah, why?”
“If you let me see them, I will grant one wish?”
“Pftt, all my weapons and only one wish?”
“No, wish per weapon”
Eden paused for a moment at what he said. One wish is nothing but over a hundred from the most powerful man on this planet. The gravity of this situation is unfathomable. Even the king would have to beg for a favor.
“I can show you all, if you promise to become my subordinate and follow me unconditionally”
“Done”
“The fuck?, does this guy know who he is. He just agreed to something so baseless and unpredictable,” she couldn’t understand his thought process.
“Well, they said he was a nerd about magic.”
“Mmm.. then please take care of me Sir Dawn,” she said, extending her arm
“Dawn, would suffice, miss reincarnated,” he said, shaking her hand with a smile..
“What did you just call me?”
